Fighter Jet Fueled Mk2a (atmospheric/drag/lift)

This is a modified version of an atmos ship originally designed for use on a server using an atmospheric lift mod, as featured in a really really old xocliw creative server livestream.

Since I wanted to be able to still fly it on my own server, it has been modified to work on survival worlds (you can fuel the reactors from the port on top) and has additional lift integrated into the wings to allow it to somewhat fly even on a server without an atmospheric lift/drag mode (Such draygo's atmospheric mods for instance)

It was tested on a server running atmospheric drag, and a speed mod (250ms) on an earth like world.

With drag, it has a max flight speed of about 100ms, with a flight ceiling of about 4000 metres. It is designed to be flown like an aircraft (banking for turns and stalling to land and such) and behaves a little like a harrier jump jet.

It should still fly on a non-modded world, but it may behave in unexpected ways, such as not being able to take of vertically very well.

It does use some dlc blocks, such as a set of prototech batteries to reduce weight, and it is equipped with a single ion engine in addition to all the atmos engines. The ion is not needed - it was simply to allow the ship to escape space and return to the earthlike world if the speed mod was too fast and allowed it to reach escape velocity.

It is armed with several gattling turrets and some missile launchers, keep in mind these need to be manually resupplied with munitions if you intend to use it for combat. The blueprint as is; is fuelled with some uranium and has some ammo loaded. If you build it off a projector, be sure to toss some uraniuim in the cargo port on the roof before the batteries run down to start up the reactors.
